Pepper and whfood.org-Blog

Two weeks
ago, I found the website whfood.org (the World’s Healthiest Foods) to highlight
the benefits of pears. Today, I
discovered how extensive the webpage really is.
Under each food item, such as today’s food of the week, peppers, they
outline the health benefits, as well as the history of the product,
description, how to store it and how to prepare it for consumption. I especially like the nutritional statistics
such as calories and vitamin and mineral content of a typical piece of
food. Their example, in 1.00 cup of red
peppers, it consists of 29 calories, 157% of your daily vitamin C requirement
(more than an orange), and 7% of fiber.

In addition, it can be added into a variety of
dishes, such as being mixed with salad or sautéed with meat. If you want a full meal in by using one pepper,
try stuffed peppers here (http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/dads_stuffed_bell_peppers/). More importantly, for those who come to the
Moses Lake Food Bank on a regular basis, most of the ingredients can be found
at the Food Bank.

The Moses
Lake Food Bank seeks “to alleviate hunger in our community by providing
assistance that is simple in style and exemplifies the spirit of providing for
one’s neighbor…” We hope you consider
that when you either join us at our gleaning events or when you donate food or
money. Please keep continuing to support
us and our mission to provide healthy food for our patrons.
